Login script is timing out

My login script times out after 30 seconds, waiting for a certain form id, which does in fact exist. I am using the nightly build per Tasos' suggestion.

Here is the first error in the stack trace. I can send a more detailed stack trace if necessary.

[~] Login script: Running the script.
 [-] [utilities#exception_jail:428] Session: [Watir::Wait::TimeoutError] timed out after 30 seconds, waiting for {:id=>"login-form", :tag_name=>"form"} to become present

I have attached a screenshot of the HTML showing that the form id does indeed match what I have in my login script.

Here is my login script ( I have replaced the actual ip address with for the purpose of this support ticket):

browser.goto 'http://<ip_address>:8080/application/#login'

browser.form(:id => 'login-form').wait_until_present(30)
browser.text_field(:id => 'txtLogin').set 'test1'
browser.text_field(:id => 'txtPassword').set 'password'
browser.button(:id => 'btnLogin').click

browser.form(id: 'login-form').wait_while_present
Watir::Wait.until { browser.element(:id => "document-info-message").visible? }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Hello,

   You can try taking screenshots at different stages during the script:

   browser.screenshot.save ("screenshot.png")
   

   You can also inspect the code with:

   puts browser.html

   Hmm, I think I kind of understand the problem. The code that I see when I add puts browser.html in my script is as if I viewed the source of the page which doesn't have much in it. But in developer tools on chrome, that's where I can see all the individual elements, such as the form, etc. So when the page loads phantomjs/arachni views the page as blank and not containing those elements, which is why the timeout occurs.

   It is the script that loads all of the elements:
     <script data-main='packages/framework-runtime/framework-runtime.min' src='packages/requirejs/require.js'></script>

   I have attached the page source file. Is there a way to tell arachni/phantomjs to wait for that script to run?

   Not exactly but you can use this: https://github.com/Arachni/arachni/wiki/Command-line-user-interface...

   Tasos,

   I've had some luck with phantomjs but still having issues with arachni even with pulling the nightly build.

   I've attached the script I used. In this script "loginView" is a div (contains the login-form). I've also attached the page.png file showing that the screenshot indeed contains something and is not blank. However, not sure how to get arachni to work like this. Trying to use the browser cluster wait for element results in a timeout, and when I take a screenshot of the page it's blank.

   Tasos, have you had a chance to look at this?

   I'm afraid I'll need access to the webapp in order to debug this.
   You can send me the details in private if you prefer: tasos[dot]laskos[at]arachni-scanner.com

   I checked it out and I'm afraid that there's nothing I can do.

   I tried the login script with just Watir and PhantomJS 2.1.1, without involving Arachni, and the error was still there.
   It looks like PhantomJS doesn't support your webapp, which means Arachni can't support it either.

   Sorry Stephen.
